Learning outcomes
|
This is a follow-up course to Introduction to the Theory of Translation. It aims to provide students with both the fundamentals of the theory of interpreting (definition of interpreting, the specifics of an interpreter's work, consecutive vs. simultaneous interpreting etc.) and the practical skills necessary for interpreting (memory exercises, split attention effect, interpreting notes, working with a text etc.).
Graduates will be able to perceive the interpreting process in its complexity, in the frame of translation theory, and they will be able to work actively with their cognitive and linguistic prerequisites for interpreting.
